Obama to hit hustings again on Thursday

After a four-day interruption in campaigning caused by Hurricane Sandy, President Obama will return to the campaign trail Thursday with rallies in three battleground states.

The president will speak in Green Bay, Wis.; Las Vegas; and Boulder, Colo., to “highlight his second-term agenda to grow our economy from the middle out, not the top down,” said a statement from his campaign headquarters.
